As part of听, the Redpath Museum presents a series of 4 special virtual workshop animated by students from听SMOrES.

Dig into fossils and find out how to make them at home. How do we know dinosaurs are real if we have never seen them? Fossils, of course! This virtual workshop will teach you all about fossils and how they are made and how to make some for yourself! Materials you will need at home: little plastic animals or shells, the ingredients for salt dough (all purpose flour, salt, cold water) or readymade cookie dough. Don鈥檛 worry if you don鈥檛 have the materials, join in anyway and find out how fossils are formed!

Note: We will be making the salt dough and imprinting the fossils during the activity, they will need to be baked after the activity to preserve them. Instructions will be provided.

Advance registration for this event is now closed. But we have more events in store for you here. The link for the event will be forwarded to participants on the Friday prior to the event

In English only.

Suitable for a family audience.听

Land Acknowledgement

涩里番 is on land which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge and thank the diverse Indigenous peoples whose presence marks this territory on which peoples of the world now gather.


Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices. As per our Collections Management Policy (2024), repatriation requests will be received by the Redpath Museum Director and will be treated on a case-by-case basis.

Accessibility

We warmly welcome all visitors and aim to provide helpful information so you can plan your visit to the Redpath Museum with confidence.

Please note that the Redpath Museum is in a historic building that does not currently meet universal accessibility standards. At this time, there are no ramps or elevators, and access to the museum, exhibition galleries (located on 3 floors), and washrooms requires the use of a central staircase.

The building鈥檚 washrooms are gendered and located in the basement. The nearest gender inclusive washrooms are located in the McLennan Library Building (M6-37C).

Due to the architecture and open spaces, the exhibition galleries may become noisy during periods of high attendance.

Please also note that the building is not air-conditioned. During hot weather, indoor temperatures can exceed outdoor temperatures.

We recognize that these conditions may limit access for some visitors and are committed to improving accessibility over time.

If you have specific accessibility related questions, we encourage you to contact us at redpath.museum [at] mcgill.ca.
